Hawaiian Eye -My Fifty Years as a P.I. in Paradise

The Seven Deadly Sins – they’re the stock-in-trade of Steve Goodenow, the Hawaii private investigator who has spent more than fifty years exposing the seamy side of paradise. In this riveting memoir, Goodenow recounts criminal capers – both legendary and little-known, from political shenanigans to cheating spouses, from insurance fraud to a Super Bowl scam. A sneak peek through the magnifying glass, Hawaiian Eye tails this real-life Thomas Magnum and his colorful supporting cast – a rogues’ gallery of con artists, crooked pols, crime bosses and the other fugitive figures that lurk in the shadows of Island society.

Steve Goodenow has been a Hawaii-based private investigator and security consultant since 1967, when he started working with his father at Barry Goodenow & Associates. After founding and selling several investigation and security service, and consultation companies, he formed The Hawaii Investigative Group, LLC, which he currently owns. Goodenow is a certified educator and teacher, a past national director of the National Association of Legal Investigators, and has been retained to conduct investigations for the Hawaii Department of the Attorney General and other state government divisions, as well as for all of Hawaii’s counties.
